Bacon Wrapped Maple Scallops

Sweet, succulent scallops are wrapped in smoky bacon and glazed with a sweet maple sauce in this quick and easy yet elegant appetizer.

Ingredients - Serves 4

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wrap each scallop with a slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place the wrapped scallops onto the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix together the maple syrup, soy sauce, minced garlic, and black pepper.
Brush the maple mixture onto the bacon-wrapped scallops, making sure to coat all sides.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the scallops are cooked through and the bacon is crispy. Turn the scallops halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
Serve the bacon-wrapped maple scallops warm as an appetizer.
